OK Jay
You just blew your first assignmnent by posting a picture of KyB to lead your story. (Just barely kidding). Welcome to a good site with a good fellow reporter.

I'll be serious about it....
Starting out looking like a Kyle Busch fan does not win you points or readers. Are you a Kyle fan?
We’ll see if you can redeem yourself some way. A photo of AJ Almendinger for your next article? AJ is a lot cuter. ;-)
Welcome.

Welcome Jay. Any idea which drivers will be in the Pennzoil Ultimate Victory Challenge (burnout contest)?

Voting
Didn’t even bother to vote. Jr. fans vote and brag on forums that they have the cheating system down to a science and have no problem bragging about it. Pointless to vote.
